19-2164; Rev 15; 3/12
High-Output-Drive, 10MHz, 10V/µs,
Rail-to-Rail I/O Op Amps with Shutdown in SC70
0–MAX234
General Description
Features
The MAX4230–MAX4234 single/dual/quad, high-output-
drive CMOS op amps feature 200mA of peak output
current, rail-to-rail input, and output capability from a
single 2.7V to 5.5V supply. These amplifiers exhibit a
high slew rate of 10V/µs and a gain-bandwidth product
(GBWP) of 10MHz. The MAX4230–MAX4234 can drive
typical headset levels (32Ω), as well as bias an RF
power amplifier (PA) in wireless handset applications.
o 200mA Output Drive Capability
o Rail-to-Rail Input and Output
o 1.1mA Supply Current per Amplifier
o 2.7V to 5.5V Single-Supply Operation
o 10MHz Gain-Bandwidth Product
o High Slew Rate: 10V/µs
o 100dB Voltage Gain (R = 100kΩ)
o 85dB Power-Supply Rejection Ratio

The MAX4230 comes in a tiny 5-pin SC70 package and
the MAX4231, single with shutdown, is offered in a
6-pin SC70 package and in 1.5mm x 1.0mm UCSP and
thin µDFN packages. The dual op-amp MAX4233 is
offered in the space-saving 10-bump chip-scale pack-
age (UCSP™), providing the smallest footprint area for
a dual op amp with shutdown.
o No Phase Reversal for Overdriven Inputs
o Unity-Gain Stable for Capacitive Loads to 780pF
o Low-Power Shutdown Mode Reduces Supply
Current to < 1µA
These op amps are designed to be part of the PA con-
trol circuitry, biasing RF PAs in wireless headsets. The
MAX4231/MAX4233 offer a SHDN feature that drives
the output low. This ensures that the RF PA is fully dis-
abled when needed, preventing unconverted signals to
the RF antenna.
o Available in 5-Pin SC70 Package (MAX4230)
and 6-Pin, UCSP and Thin µDFN Packages
(MAX4231)
o Available in 10-Bump UCSP Package (MAX4233)
